"I used this product for several weeks, but saw no beneficial effects. However I did notice stomach discomfort and excessive gas. On the positive side, it was easy to take orally and had an acceptable flavor."

"I love using mct in fruit/ protein smoothies, it makes the drink more filling and more satisfying for the nerves and skin. It makes a great "bulletproof" coffee drink with maple syrup and cacao added to coffee, turning this into a "cobalamin booster". The price is good too, especially when there is a bogo, or percent-off deal going on!"

"This is a great affordable product. I put it in my tea, coffee and shakes. Mixes well for the most part. A great way to get some healthy MCTs! My only complaint would be that I wish it came in a squeeze bottle like some of the other oils that I purchase. This oil is a little messy when pouring, but once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad."

"I went with the Vitacost brand based on the great reviews not only on this site, but on other retailers as well, who were comparing this MCT oil to Now brand. Mainly, I liked that it was made from Coconut Oil, and all reviews seemed to state it was tasteless. I thought if it had a taste, it would be slightly coconutty if anything? Maybe I have more sensitive tastebuds, but this is the worst tasting oil I've ever had. It tastes like a mechanically processed oil, I imagine what a machine lubricant would taste like. I tried it plain upon receipt and had to spit it out. I continue to use it, for the expected health benefits, but if I get it on my fingers I certainly don't lick them. I've been putting it in my coffee, and as one reviewer said, it does ruin the taste. Maybe something stronger like a smoothie would be best. I'll probablly try another brand once I finish this bottle, if I actually do see/feel any health benefits."
